Work of Public Affairs Committee

A. T. Connolly reported on the
we. cevered by the public affairs
committee during 1927. This work
included the matters of road imp-
rovement, the Bow River bridge, the
cemetery, and other matters of
lesser importance. Mr. Connolly re-
ported that considerable progress had
been made in the matter of road
improvement. No great steps had
been made toward the building of
the Bow River bridge, and in the
matter of the cemetery improve-
ment the speaker stated that the
local churches should take a more

vhs caitio.
The notice of iastion inctuded the
following ‘appropriations: $25 for
auto camp purposes; $25 for entér-|
tainment; $100 for promotion of the
sugar beet industry; $25 for tree
planting.
Good Suggestion

In connection with the planting of
trees, A. T. Connolly made a sugges-
tion that the tree planting committee
procure young trees in the spring
and supply them to farmera and
townspeople at cost. He believed
that in this way many more. trees
would be planted than if this service
was not provided.

ee Canada To The Rove

Canada’s amazing progress in the last few years is challenging the
attention of the world, That progress is based not only on the great variety,
extent and richness of this country’s natural resources, but is founded in the
renewed {faith of Canadians in their Dominion and in the confidence they |
have in themselves, a faith and confidence born largely of the really tre-
mendous achievements of Canada during the years of the Great War, In that
titanic struggle the people of Canada showed wonderful enetgy, displayed |
grea” initiative, unsurpassed organizing ability, and hitherto undreamed of
powers and strength. Thrown to a large extent upon its own resources, finan- |
cial and otherwise, the Dominion courageously faced all problems and did s0 |

which the growth of a country is set forth. In-a recent speech at Winnipeg,
Mr. E. W. Beatty, president of the C.P.R., succinctly and impressively set
forth: a few facts, which will bear repeating. He noted, for example, the
following:

Every working doy last year Canadians took from their forests, pro-
qguets valued at $1,500,000.

From mines they took $380,000 daily.

Every working dag they increased their capacity for manufacturing pulp
and paper by 1,000 tons. Canada now manufactures one-third of the world’s
requirements of newsprint.

Every working day they added 700 horsepower in hydro-electric energy |
to the power already installed, and at the same time began work that will
add 1,000 h.p. every day in the first six months of 1928. .

Canada’s export trade last year, with less than 10,000,000 people, was
equal to the export trade of the United States, when the latter country had a
population of 75,000,000.

Commenting on these and other statements in Mr. Beatty's striking sur- |
vey, a Winnipeg paper asks: “Is it any wonder that in the past two years)
the Canadian people have becn putting’ $200,000 into the savings banks every
banking day, inereasing deposits in other financial instiutions correspond-
ingly, investing in life insurance at the same relative rate, buying back
millions in securities formerly held: in Great Britain and Europe, providing |
almost unlimited capital for sound industrial enterprises, and have acquired a
spirit of solid confidence and self-reliance?”

Nor is it surprising that more people are emigrating from the British |
Isles to Canada than to any other country, many thousands more than to |
Australia. }

Speaking at the opening of the great 5,500,000 bushel terminal elevator
just Completed by the United Grain Growers at Port Arthur, President T. A. |
Crerar predicted that, while Canada was now producing approximately 500,-
000,000 bushels of wheat ‘annually, and is today the world’s greatest wheat
exporting country, production would be further increased until this Domin-
ion would be producing one billion bushels of wheat annually.

And the thounght for Canadians to keep ever in their minds, and to |
profit by, is that Canada is only just beginning to get into its stride.

Exhausted From Asthma. Many
who read these words know the terri-
ble drain upon health and strength,
which comes in the train of asthmatic
troubles. Many do not realize, how-
ever, that there is one true remedy
which will usually stop this drain. Dr.
J. D. Kellogge’s Asthma Remedy is a
wonderful check to this enervating
ailment. It has a countless record of
relief to its credit. It is sold almost
everywhere.

The reason for its being an un-
known mountain until recently lies in
the fact that it is surrounded by other
high mountains and only from a few
points is its height above the other
elevations clearly discernible. The
Mountain pass, covered with everlast-
ing snow and ice, presents a formid-
able barrier to the moisture-laden at-
mosphere rolling in from the Pacific
Ocean, with the result that its crest
is frequently and for long periods hid-

New Wheat Varieties

Good Yields Are Secured From New
Seed Known As “Burbank’'s
Quality

An average yield of fifty bushels to
the acre from a forty-acre field near
Nanton, Alberta, is the record claimed
by H. Widdis, for a new variety of
wheat known as “Burbank’s Quality.”
In a letter to The Calgary Herald,
Mr. Widdis said that he threshed 2,000
bushels:of it from 40 acres and that it
graded No. 2. Other varieties on his
farm yielded from 30 to 35 bushels to
the acre and graded NO. 5, 6 and feed.
“Burbank’s Quality” matures early.

Edmonton—That the future of the
sheep industry in Canada is assured
and that it will pay very well the in-
vestment of those who go into it with
even modest capital and moderate
skill and knowledge, were the views
expressed unanimously by alt ex-
perts gathered at the annual meeting
of the Alberta Sheep Breeders’ Asso-
ciation here. It wag ‘pointed out
that Alberta has 200 of the 2,118 mem-
bers of the Canadian Co-Operative
Wool Growers’ Association, and that
Alberta was providing 60 per cent of
the Dominion’s wool production.
Whereas in 1918 only one outlet ex-
isted for Canadian production, it was
pointed out that there were now near-
ly a dozen, ahd it was a mighty good

time to go into sheep raising.

Here the conversation was inter-
rupted by old Sim’s arrival. Having
slept all day, he had come in for his
evening meal, blinkthg at the light
like a bear in the Spring.

Simeon Maskerville was a long,
lanky man of uncertain age, His gray
beard was tangled and knotted, but
his eyes were young still, and, ai-
though generally half closed, as if the
light hurt them, capable of seeing all
that was happening. Simeon had the
appearance of a flower that has grown
stringy and pale for lack of light, or.
a potato that has lain in a forgotten
corner of the cellar. He fell at once
to talking, not wishing to lose any of
the precious hours of conversation, re-
membering that the long night was
coming wherein no man would be
found to whom he coulda talk.

Poems

His Excellency Viscount Willingdon
has accepted a copy of W. Havelock
Robb’s volume of Canadian Birdland
poems, “The Quill and the Candle,”
which appeared just before Christmas
under the patronage of His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales.

The Prince has acknowledged the |
arrival at St. James Palace of the vol-
ume of poems, the original command
for which he gave last June,

The “Command” copy was an ex-
ample of the Canadian binders art. It
was doné in green suede, gold and red
with silk inside the covers and the
presentation inscription inside was in
gold lettering on suede.

A Boon For Motorists

Swedish Doctor Invents Spectacles As
Protection Against Glaring
Headlights

Soon you may be able to drive at
night undisturbed by the glare of on-
coming headlights. A new kind of
“specs” made especially to protect
motorists eyes, from blazing lights,
has been invented by Dr. Carl G. Bos-
trom chief medical officer of the
Swedish nayy. The spectacles are a
clever combination of a German type
of glass, greenish-yellow-gray in col-
or, that shades into clear glass at the
bottom of the lenses. The upper part
shields the eyes from irritation; the
lower, permits. unobstructed vision on
the road for driving.
